Lexical Chains on WordNet and Extensions

Lexical chains between two concepts are sequences of semantically related words interconnected via semantic relations. This paper presents a new approach for the automatic construction of lexical chains on knowledge bases. Experiments were performed building lexical chains on WordNet, Extended WordNet, and Extended WordNet Knowledge Base. The research addresses the problems of lexical chains ranking and labeling them with appropriate semantic names.
